Diffusion-time- ( td) dependent diffusion MRI (dMRI) extends our ability to characterize brain microstructure by measuring dMRI signals at varying td. The use of oscillating gradient (OG) is essential for accessing short td but is technically challenging on clinical MRI systems. This study aims to investigate the clinical feasibility and value of td-dependent dMRI in neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). Eighteen HIE neonates and six normal term-born neonates were scanned on a 3 T scanner, with OG-dMRI at an oscillating frequency of 33 Hz (equivalent td ≈ 7.5 ms) and pulsed gradient (PG)-dMRI at a td of 82.8 ms and b-value of 700 s/mm2. The td-dependence, as quantified by the difference in apparent diffusivity coefficients between OG- and PG-dMRI (ΔADC), was observed in the normal neonatal brains, and the ΔADC was higher in the subcortical white matter than the deep grey matter. In HIE neonates with severe and moderate injury, ΔADC significantly increased in the basal ganglia (BG) compared to the controls (23.7% and 10.6%, respectively). In contrast, the conventional PG-ADC showed a 12.6% reduction only in the severe HIE group. White matter edema regions also demonstrated increased ΔADC, where PG-ADC did not show apparent changes. Our result demonstrated that td-dependent dMRI provided high sensitivity in detecting moderate-to-severe HIE.

2050 Background: The infiltrating nature of gliomas, particularly into the peritumoral area, is a major barrier to improving clinical outcome as microscopic disease remains even after apparent gross total resection. Conventional T1 post-contrast and T2/FLAIR MRI do not capture full tumor extent. A better imaging biomarker is needed to improve differentiation between tumor, peritumoral area and normal brain. Methods: 4 pre-surgical patients with non-enhancing, FLAIR-hyperintense lesions suspicious for glioma underwent ultra-high gradient diffusion MRI on the Connectome MRI scanner, a unique scanner with maximum gradient strength of 300 mT/m enabling mapping of cellular microstructures on a micron-level scale. The FLAIR area was defined as the tumor region of interest (ROI). Radiographically normal appearing brain up to 1 cm around the FLAIR area was defined as the peritumoral ROI. Using a novel 3 compartment diffusion model (Linear Multiscale Model), the volume fraction of water (VFW) was calculated within restricted (intracellular), hindered (extracellular) and free (CSF) spaces. VFW in the tumor, peritumoral ROI, contralateral normal white matter (WM) and cortex were compared. Results: Within the tumor ROI, the median VFW in the restricted compartment was decreased vs. the peritumoral ROI (↓ 34%), WM (↓ 46%) and cortex (↓ 18%) while median VFW in the hindered compartment was increased vs. the peritumoral ROI (↑ 26%), WM (↑ 54%) and cortex (↑ 25%). Within the peritumoral ROI, median VFW in the hindered compartment was increased compared to WM (↑ 23%). 3 patients had available histopathology revealing isocitrate dehydrogenase-mutant gliomas. Conclusions: Using ultra-high gradient diffusion MRI and a novel diffusion model, we detected distinct diffusion patterns in the tumor and peritumoral area not seen on conventional MRI. Lower VFW in the restricted compartment within the tumor may reflect decreased intracellular water mobility due to enlarged nuclei. Higher VFW in the hindered compartment in the tumor and peritumoral area may reflect higher degree of tissue permeability and edema. MRI-pathology and larger cohort validation studies are underway to elucidate microenvironment changes in response to treatment.
